Yeah, Cruz and Trump are both fakes. Useful idiots at best for the cause of liberty. Either one of them would stab you in the back in a heartbeat when it serves their own self-interests.
We have Rand, Massie, and Amash. That's it. And a couple of case-by-case allies on both sides of the aisle. And that's why the size of government keeps growing. Don't be fooled by the fakers.

I repeat:
This article written in Jan 2018 talks about Trump's sanctions in Aug 2017 & what more sanctions will do (have done, as of now).
Why More Sanctions Won’t Help Venezuela
The people, not the government, will pay the price.

Venezuela has been sanctioned since at least 2015.

The whole problem is about countries with resources who defy the USG & try to get out from under the dollar. These countries are taken down, made to look as bad as possible, and a coup is used to usurp their government.

A post of mine in The Vent:
I haven't come to an final opinion on this (The Holocaust) and have been reading several different POVs.
One thing that is very interesting is that when Patton became the leading force in defeated Germany, he came to the startling conclusion that everything that Hitler had said about the Jews was correct.
Not long after that, Patton mysteriously died in a car wreck.

I am completely for free markets- have never said otherwise.
BUT- the USG meddles in elections & coups all over the world and for places like Venezuela & Iran, it is for resources. The sanctions put on these countries are deliberate acts of war & uncalled for. We have no business overthrowing other governments and sanctioning countries. PLUS the US is no longer a capitalist country- it is a center of crony-capitalism or more correctly, mercantilism, which the War of Independence was fought over.
Also, when left alone many "communist" regimes collapse & then become capitalistic- like Cuba right now. Here's a great article about how Cuba has morphed into real capitalism.

If only...
This guy is a supporter of no one - he just wants someone else to support him. Unfortunately, I think we can expect to see more of this entitled crap. Too many participation trophies and helicoptering. Too many boys aren't even capable of being boys anymore, let alone men.

Depends on what you want, I suppose. Are you looking for someone who has principles but will be totally ignored? You have a wide choice (even though libertarians will never agree on what principles matter.)
Or are you looking for ratings and a tick up at the polling booth? Then, maybe Mark Cuban? The Rock??
Who knows? Does it even matter?

I chose "crusader" precisely due to the deeply negative connotations it now carries. Because of those connotations, brought to us by the sorts of people who make up these ranks of lowlives, applying a label that identifies them with that for which they hold such deep hatred seems just and mildly amusing. Being the bastard that I am, unwilling to tolerate that which is intolerable, I derive some droll pleasure from anything that causes such people to squirm, rage, and become more miserable than they normally tend to be, if that is even possible. Labeling people who on the whole hate anything remotely Christian with deeply disproportionate venom and bile is about the worst possible insult they can imagine. Therefore, it suits me to tag them in ways that stand to get them so hopping "offended" that every rotten quality and impulse attributable to them is augmented to the greatest degree possible. They need to be goaded to the greatest degree in order that they betray themselves with all manner of emotion-driven mistakes as we, the more rational and possessed of self-control, sit back and laugh as they pile-drive themselves into either self-destruction or into frenzied action that leads to the same result.

I find the term "social justice warrior" objectionable in that to date, not a single individual identifying as such appears to come anywhere near to qualifying as a "warrior".
Having trained in the warrior arts for forty seven years to date, I see no indication that the so-called "SJWs" have anything to do with warrior culture, but rather that the use of the term in the moniker is naught but an instance of auto-stroking.
I must therefore suggest a more appropriate substitute term that, while still overly generous to the vast majority of those in question, nevertheless comes closer to a truer connotation without waxing openly hostile. It does, in fact, carry a note of sarcastic, condescending humor about it.
May I introduce, the Social Justice Crusader. Given the less-than-flattering connotations that the notion of a crusade has accreted over the last several decades, it is my opinion that this term tracks far more tightly with the truth than does "warrior".
In more modern vernaculars, "crusaders" have come to be associated with a great raft of negatively-valued traits including but not limited to narrow-mindedness, extreme parochialism, no consideration of the wishes of others, blindness to facts and reality, extreme self-absorption and -importance, a will to stupidity, and so on down a rather long and dreary litany of depressingly unattractive individual traits.

Yeah - just like every other predatory animal on the planet. :rolleyes:
And those creatures have defenses; it's just that their defenses are no match for a bullet traveling 2,500 feet per second. I mean, I have no desire to waste my time without taking full advantage of the kill, but I'm not sure what's so hard to understand about these actions.
Once again, the real problem here is the tragedy of the commons. Those guys wouldn't be doing that if these animals were theirs and living on their own property.

Guess it's a fond adios to this:
It's all about violence... not to mention pimping one's own sister to save bacon.
The Squat NAZIs must be having fits over it all... or the will once someone here forwards this to HQ.
Lead Belly's spinning in his grave like a lathe.

Among my many interests was electricity and I decided that I wanted to change how the industry operates. Understanding the free market as I did, I was pissed that the coolest discovery in the history of mankind was being regulated to death by the government. I wanted to change that.

I’ve never used this blog feature before, but since people have wondered (and asked) about my personal story, I figured it was best to do it in here rather than the forums.

It may come across as anecdotal, but I assure you that this same type free market story is working itself out all over the country and the globe. Even in the face or increasing government interference.
